With the help of a $2.1 million grant, Milwaukee has ordered lockboxes for early voters to place their ballots in this November.
On Tuesday, Mayor Tom Barrett said the city plans to receive the lockboxes within the next month and hopes to have them installed in October. It's not yet clear how many boxes the city will receive and where they will be placed.

"Voting integrity is an important issue and we take that very, very seriously.
